The molar absorptivity of NADH at 340 nm has been determined by an indirect procedure in which high-purity glucose is phosphorylated by ATP in the presence of hexokinase, coupled to oxidation of the glucose-6-phosphate by NAD+ in the presence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The average value from 85 independent determinations is 6317 liter mol-1 cm-1 at 25 degrees C and pH 7.8. The overall uncertainty is -4.0 to +5.5 ppt (6292 to 6352 liter mol-1 cm-1), based on a standard error of the mean of 0.48 ppt and an estimate of systematic error of -2.6 to +4.1 ppt. Effects of pH, buffer, and temperature on the molar absorptivity are also reported.

The cerebral metabolic effects of 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 20, 30 and 60 min exposure to 1% CO were studied in lightly anesthetized rats by measurement of cerebral cortical contents of selected glycolytic and citric acid cylce intermediates, as well as tissue energy phosphates. The initial change in the glycolytic sequence occurred at 2.5 min with decreases in tissue glucose and glucose-6-phosphate and increases in fructose-1-6-diphosphate which indicated an activation of phosphofructokinase and hexokinase. The "crossover" pattern between glucose-6-phosphate and fructose-1,6-diphosphate was present at 5, 7.5 and 10 min, but not at 20, 30 and 60 min and thus confirmed previous observations that detection of phosphofructokinase activation in acute unifactorial cerebral hypoxia requires tissue study during the early phases of the experimental exposure. The initial activation of phosphofructokinase occurred in the absence of detectable changes in the tissue content of ATP, ADP, AMP or phosphocreatine and therefore suggested that an imbalance of tissue energy homeostasis is not a prerequisite for the activation of glycolysis in CO intoxication. One percent CO resulted in an increasing malate/oxaloacetate ratio at 5 min, followed by a decrease in alpha-ketoglutarate and aspartate at 7.5 min which suggested a shift in the aspartate aminotransferase reaction towards the replenishment of oxaloacetate removed via the malate dehydrogenase reaction. Subsequent increases in alpha-ketoglutarate at 10, 20, 30 and 60 min were associated with increases in alanine, indicating a contributing role for a secondary shift of the alanine aminotransferase reaction in the replenishment of alpha-ketoglutarate. A comparison of the CO induced changes in the glycolytic and citric acid cycle pathways with those seen in acute hypoxemia indicates no basic qualitative differences in the metabolic responses of brain tissue to the two conditions.

Small-bore ("Autozyme") tubes with immobilized enzymes at the inner wall have been developed and studied for application in the Technicon "SMAC" high-speed continuous-flow biochemical analyzer. Tubes coated with glucose oxidase (D-glucose:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.3.4) have been prepared for the assay of glucose, with colorimetric assay of the hydrogen peroxide produced; tubes coated with glycerol kinase (ATP:glycerol phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.30) for the enzymatic assay of triglycerides; tubes coated with hexokinase (ATP:D-hexose-6-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.1) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (D-glucose-6-phosphate:NAD+ oxidoreductase EC 1.1.1.49) for the measurement of ATP, an intermediate product in assays for creatine kinase. With use of 10-15 cm lengths of Autozyme tube and SMAC hydraulics (150 samples per hour), assay sensitivity and carryover were similar to values for the corresponding free-enzyme methods. These immobilized enzymes were sufficiently stable for one to eight weeks of continuous use before replacemnt. We conclude that suitable bound-enzyme tubes can replace either single or multiple free-enzyme reagents in many continuous-flow assays at high sampling rates.

1. The factors influencing the measurement of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) activity in serum by coupled enzymatic methods were investigated to establish optimum conditions for this type of assay. Such a study was indicated following observations by the authors of poor performance of commerically produced reagent kits together with the failure of most of the established an well accepted methods to operate under true optimum zero order kinetics in the reaction phase state. 2. The factors invested were the effects of pH, substrate concentrations (creatine phosphate, glucose and NADP+), added auxiliary (hexokinase) and indicator (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) enzymes, dithiothreitol (DTT) as an activator and conditions of storage of substrate stability. DTT was found to be a suitable activator but not a reactivator of the reaction. The optimum concentrations of creatine phosphate, glucose and NADP+ were found to be 20.0, 20.0 and 2.0 mmol/litre, respectively. Optimum activieies of the enzymes, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrosenase and hexokinase were 1000 and 2000 units/litre, respectively. 3. The between-day precision of the method for measuring serum at pH 6.8 and 30 degrees C at three activity levels under the optimum conditions developed was excellent yielding coefficients of variation ranging from 2.0 to 2.7%.

The 3T3-L1 mouse fibroblast cell line develops morphological and biochemical characteristics of adipocytes when maintained at confluence. This conversion to adipocytes is accelerated by addition of insulin to the culture medium [Green, H. & Kehinde, O. (1975) Cell 5, 19-27]. During the course of the insulin-mediated adipocyte conversion, the specific activity (units/mg of protein) of glutamine synthetase [L-glutamate:ammonia ligase (ADP-forming), EC 6.3.1.2] increases more than 100-fold. The specific activities of hexokinase (ATP:D-hexose 6-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.1) and glucose-6-P dehydrogenase (D-glucose-6-phosphate:NADP(+) 1-oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.49) also increase but less dramatically (1.5- to 3-fold). In contrast, confluent cells maintained in the absence of insulin for the same time (12-20 days after confluence) display only minimal increases in the activity of these enzymes. Maintenance of confluent cells in culture medium lacking added L-glutamine has little, if any, effect on glutamine synthetase activity in either control or insulin-treated cultures. Treatment of confluent 3T3-L1 cultures with hydrocortisone (1 mug/ml) for 3 days prior to harvesting results in an increase in glutamine synthetase specific activity of 12-fold for control cultures maintained for 13 days in the absence of insulin and 1.4-fold for adipocyte cultures maintained for 13 days in the presence of insulin (10 mug/ml). Treatment of 3T3-L1 control cells and adipocytes with dibutyryl cyclic AMP (1 mM) plus theophylline (1 mM) decreases the glutamine synthetase specific activity and almost completely reverses the insulin- and hydrocortisone-mediated increases in enzyme activity. In contrast, treatment with dibutyryl cyclic AMP plus theophylline has relatively little effect on the specific activities of hexokinase or glucose-6-P dehydrogenase or on the protein content of the cultures. These data indicate that glutamine synthetase activity is hormonally regulated in 3T3-L1 cells.

The behavior of enzyme activities, substrates and metabolites of glycosis as well as of the pentose phosphate shunt following local irradiation (250 to 6000 R surface dose) is biochemically investigated in the guinea-pig's myocardium. During irradiation, an activation of phosphorylase-a is going on while the total phosphorylase content remains unchanged. Enzyme activities of hexokinase and phosphofructokinase are increased in dependence on dosage as well as time. The glycogen content is being reduced; tissular concentration of the metabolites glucose-1-phosphate, glucose-6-phosphate, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, glycerol-3-phosphate, and pyruvate increases following irradiation; the content of fructose-1,6-diphosphate, dihydroxyacetonephosphate, and lactate is decreased. The activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenas is slightly inhibited, whereas 6-phosphogluconate-dehydrogenase remains unaffected.

The regularities for changes were established in activity of hexokinase, glucokinase, glucosephosphate-isomerase, phosphofructokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenaseduring the early development of loach (Misgurnus fossilis). It was found that a 30-minute incubation of fertilized loach eggs in the lactate or fumarate solutions decreases the glucokinase activity in the embryos of 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 24 hours of their development, while the inhibitory effect of glucose on the enzyme activity is pronounced only after 18 and 24 hours of the development. A significant increase in the hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activities under the above-mentioned conditions is observed only under the effect of glucose 9 and 6 and 9 hours, respectively, after fertilization. The glucose phosphate isomerase and phosphofructokinase activites under the effect of used compounds undergo no changes during the primary stages of embryogenesis.

A mathematical model is presented of the Embden--Meyerhof pathway in the human red blood cell. The rate of the system stationary flux is determined by the first part of the chain including three enzymatic reactions. The function has been calculated which describes the dependence of the stationary rate of glucose consumption and ATP production on the concentration of ATP. The curve has a bell shape with the physiological normal point situated in the descending segment. The descending segment is a result of the inhibition of the phosphofructokinase by ATP and the strong inhibition of the hexokinase by glucose-6-phosphate.

The activity of hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphoric dehydrogenase was studied in the liver of rats after one hour, one and five days after a single oral administration of organic phosphorus insecticide valekson. It was determined that administration of the preparation led to an increase of activity in the homogenate and solubilization of glucose-6-phosphatase, activation of glucose-6-phosphoric dehydrogenase and inhibition of hexokinase. The changes were maximum one hour after the administration of the compound. The results show that a decrease of the intensity of glucose-6-phosphate formation and metabolism is one of the pathogenetic factors in the development of valekson-induced intoxication.

Based on previous studies which have revealed that glucose 1,6-bisphosphate (Glc-1,6-P2) is a potent inhibitor of muscle hexokinase and an activator (deinhibitor) of phosphofructokinase and phosphoglucomutase, the effect of epinephrine on the levels of this regulator in rat diaphragm muscle was investigated. It was found that epinephrine caused an increase in diaphragm Glc-1,6-P2 levels, accompanied by a reduction in the activity of hexokinase and an activation (deinhibition) of phosphofructokinase and phosphoglucomutase. N6-2'-O-dibutyryl cyclic AMP was able to mimic all these effects of epinephrine. The concentration of glucose-6-phosphate was not changed by epinephrine, under conditions in which the hormone produced an increase in cyclic AMP and Glc-1,6-P2 levels and the concomitant decrease in hexokinase activity. It was also shown that Glc-1,6-P, in the concentration range found after epinephrine, inhibited the diaphragm hexokinase and deinhibited phosphoglucomutase. These results may suggest a mechanism of epinephrine action by which the activities of hexokinase, phosphoglucomutase and phosphofructokinase, through the action of Glc-1,6-P2, are synchronized with the cyclic AMP-mediated activation of glycogen phosphorylase, to achieve an increase in total glycogenolysis and glycolysis and a concomitant reduction in glucose utilization by the muscle.
